4 small boxes (3 oz. each) of Jell-O or store brand "gelatin dessert" in different colors. (I used 2 boxes of 3 oz. lemon jello and one 6 oz. box of grape)

1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk (don't get evaporated milk)

2 envelopes unflavored gelatin (that Knox stuff)

For each flavor, dissolve one box of jello in one cup of boiling water. Pour into a container and chill (overnight is probably best, but I chilled it 3 hours until firm). I had four of these containers of jello.

After chilling the four flavors, cut them into small blocks.

Carefully mix the blocks in a 9 x 13 pan.

In a separate bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin into 1/2 cup cold water. After the gelatin blooms, add 1 1/2 cup boiling water and dissolve. Add the can of condensed milk. Stir and cool. Pour cooled milk mixture over jello. It does help to take the time to skim off any small bubbles that are created when you pour the condensed milk on the jello pieces. Chill overnight.

Cut into blocks or shapes and serve! In this case, serve up and cheer!

These look fantastic! You do such a good job of keeping the squares square. I tried making your primary colors version and I think I stir them too much because I broke the corners off :-(Yours look amazing though, and they taste great!!

I'm lovin' your blog. I just started reading and can't wait to continue! I can't wait to try these out either. I'm not a lakers fan, since I live in dallas tx (although I do admit, they're good!) I'm loving the colors.

Dear Kandi,The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the professional basketball teams in Los Angeles. They are in the championship tournament against the Orlando (Florida) Magic basketball team. Sort of like the championship football tournament! - mary

Looks like a great thing to make for a party for a new graduate, in the school colors of course!I think I'm also going to try making coffee-flavored gelatin, chocolate gelatin and then combine them for a "Stained Glass Mocha Jello."

I stumbled on this blog post when I was trying to find a recipe for "Hawaiin Jello" that my mom used to make when I was a kid.

I used your idea to make Pina Colada Jello Squares. I used pineapple and cherry jello for the squares (3-1 ratio of pineapple to cherry), and substituted coconut milk for the condensed milk. They were a hit! I'm going to try adding rum next time to see if I can make a jello shooter that tastes like a pina-colada.
